KANSAS CITY, Mo. - With no Joe Mon
tana, the Kansas City Chiefs needed the de
fense to provide some offense. So nose tackle
Dan Saleaumua took over where the injured
Montana left off.
Saleaumua ran 16 yards for a touchdown
early in the third quarter with a fumble
stripped by Derrick Thomas from Brett Favre
to set the Chiefs off on a 17-point run that gave
them a 23-16 victory over Green Bay on Mon
day night.
Then the 6-foot, 300-pounder forced a fum
ble by Darrell Thompson that Tracy Rogers re
covered in the end zone just as the Packers
threatened to go ahead with just under six
minutes left.
An interception by Martin Bayless, Kansas
City's third of the game, ended Green Bay's fi
nal threat with 1:40 left.
The victory kept the Chiefs (6-2) in first
place in the AFC West and ended a three-game
winning streak for the Packers (4-4).
But it wasn't easy.
The Kansas City offense was limited to just
60 yards in the half and could have gone off
trailing by more than the 9-3 score by which
the Packers led. In fact, the defense produced
those points, a 23-yard field goal by Nick Low
ery set up by Kevin Ross' interception and 48-
yard return. .
Green Bay, meanwhile, failed on a first and
goal from the two when Thomas forced a third
down fumble and chose to kick a field goal on
fourth down from the Kansas City one in the
final minute of the half and settled for Chris
Jacke's field goals of 23, 51 and 19 yards.
Then, on Green Bay's first offensive play af
ter intermission, Thomas broke behind Favre
and swiped at the ball, knocking it straight at
the feet of Saleaumua. He grabbed it like a
shortstop and rambled 16 yards into the end
zone to give the Chiefs the lead.
Green Bay went three and out and the
Chiefs, whose only first half score was set up
by Kevin Ross' interception, drove 46 yards in
10 plays to make it 13-9 on a 34-yard field goal
by Lowery.
The Chiefs made it 20-9 1:06 into the four!
quarter after a 76-yard drive, their onlysm
tained offensive sortie of the night.
The key play was a 32-yard pass from Da*
Krieg to JJ. Birden that put the ballatt
Green Bay 4-yard-Iine. Krieg, subbing whil
Montana rested his pulled hamstring, was
of 30 for 170 yards and was sacked four timei
three by Bryce Paup.
But 55 seconds after the Chiefs' toudidowi
Green Bay narrowed the score to 20-16.
Marcus Wilson returned the kickoff]
yards to the 45. Then Favre found Sterlin
Sharpe for 21 yards then found Jackie Harri
all alone for a 35-yard pass.
Seven minutes later it looked like it wouli
be 23-20 Packers as Green Bay, aided by a 30
yard pass interference call against Dale Carte
moved to a first down at the Chiefs' 3.
But on second down, as Thompson chargi
toward the end zone, Saleaumua stripped hii
the ball came loose and Rogers fell on it. Theijj
Todd McNair's 48-yard run set up a 40-ya:
field goal by Lowery that finalized the game
23-16 with 3:26 left.

coaches, telling you how good you are, nobody really knows who the
national champions are," Thomas said. "I think a national championship
team is a team that has all the pieces, like a strong defense, a good offense
and good special teams.
"It's important for all those pieces to work together and it's important
for all those players to work together. When that happens, then that is a
national championship-type team. I think Texas A&M is one of those
teams."
While the national championship may be out of reach this year, the
Southwest Conference championship is just around the corner with an
other trip to the Cotton Bowl. But Thomas said he does not want to look
that far ahead.
"Every time you win a championship, it's special," said Thomas who
won two 2A Texas state championships at Groveton before coming to
A&M. "Every time we win a game it's special to me.
"I take it one game at a time, but the team goal is definitely getting
back to the Cotton Bowl."

IRVING - Troy Aikman
limped around Valley Ranch
with the first pulled hamstring of
his athletic career Monday but
the Dallas Cowboys quarterback
said he would even try acupunc
ture to get off the doubtful list to
play next Sunday against
Phoenix.
The good news for the Cow
boys was that Aikman didn't tear
the left hamstring when he went
down in a heap in the third peri
od of Sunday's 31-9 victory over
the New York Giants.
“It's pretty sore and I'm sure
there is some bleeding but doc
tors don't believe it's tearing,”
Aikman said. “I'm day to day
this week. Nothing has been
ruled out.
"But you'd have to be opti
mistic to say I'll play this week."
Aikman said he might try
acupuncture if the bleeding
clears. He's currently treating the
injury with icepacks.
“There are some other players
who have had success with it, so
I'll give it a try/ he said.
Aikman said he had never
pulled a hamstring in his high
school career at Henryetta, Okla.,
or in college at both Oklahoma
and UCLA.
“I didn't even know what it
felt like," he said. “I didn't know
how to act. It just popped.
There's been very little swelling.
It's amazing I've never had any
problems before considering the
fact my hamstrings are tight."
Aikman said if the game
against the Cardinals was Mon
day “I couldn't play."
He added that he was not go
ing to take any chances.
“If I can't help the team and I
can't move I wouldn't jeopardize
it (the injury). I'll listen to the
doctor on this one."

were virtually crushed between the fences
and the surging masses behind them. This
resulted in 73 injuries, six of those critical
ly-
News clips of the carnage shocked the
nation. The pictures were graphic. A girl
was pressed against a gate pleading with a
guard to open the gate because she was be
ing crushed, but he seemed to ignore her.
Football players were tearing at piles of
students to retrieve the ones suffocating on
the bottom. It looked more like a soccer
match in Liverpool than a collegiate foot
ball game in Madison, Wisconsin.
The point is that there was no precedent
for the measures taken at the Wisconsin
game. If there were any previous situa
tions that involved injuries or real prob
lems caused by fans rushing the field, then
the NCAA and most schools in the nation
would have taken measures against it. But,
they haven't.
The police were reported to have acted
belligerently. One student said security
guards hit and pushed them. They were
hitting those trying to escape the pressure
from the churning masses behind them.
Head of campus police, Susan Riseling,
told security before the game to discourage
fans from going onto the field, but to allow
them on the field if large numbers of peo
ple begin to push through. Her orders
were not heeded. But why should the stu
dents be discouraged at all? They should
have been aware of the dangers near the
fences.
Another question: Why have fences in
the first place? They might have been in
tended to keep the fans off the field, but all
they did was trap the students.
The fact is that the student body did try
to rush the field which was against school
policy. They acted irresponsibly and a lot '1 will not b
of people got hurt. Their part in this
tragedy cannot go unnoticed.
But the school policy itself needs serious
evaluation. Wisconsin is the only school to
suffer this kind of disaster. It is the only
one with chain link fences and abusive se- '' om and P (
curity. They need to take some of the re- into
sponsibility for this, as well. Jbconsciou
Wisconsin could have had the memories f 5 ^ daily
of a celebrated victory similar to the ones Un t ™ s °
Kansas State have now. Instead they only
have the nightmares of a Halloween
tragedy which could have been avoided.
